as a relatively new resident to the area (moved from central london in 2008) i love the old buildings and learning about the history of the town. so living close to the park i would love to see the Lido reopened.
after google-ing about the barking park lido this is the only video iv come across.
any chance of lettin me know what the latest is on the Lido's project? a response would be fantastic.
Thanks for doing these videos. I found them recently and now check in regularly to see if there are any more. I grew up in Barking in the 70s and used to spend the majority of the summer holidays in the park and lido. I hope the renovations do justice to a great facility.
@rippleway . It's good to know they are going to keep the fountains . I was back in barking 2 weeks ago and I can't believe how different it is. Perhaps I'm stuck in the 70s and 80s but I'm not keen on what they have done to our once glorious town.
Happy memories here.. Back in the 70s I used to swim here and I remember the great fountains that were inside the lido. It's a shame it was closed down
@merlimax The fountains are still there, I forgot to point out that one can be seen in this video. They are under restoration, last time I was there they were undercover.
